Flipping the Classroom

There has been a lot of discussion recently regarding Flipping the Classroom, which essentially means that students are exposed to new materials outside of class usually via reading or lecture videos, and the class time is spent assimilating the knowledge through activities such as group work, discussion, or debates. See Flipping the Classroom: The Big Idea (TedEd – Penn State) for a brief summary. Research is showing that both students and faculty benefit from this new pedagogy (see Just Flip It).
